Edwin Friedman was an ordained rabbi, family therapist, and leadership consultant. Among the books he wrote is Friedman’s Fables, a collection of 24 illustrative tales that offer fresh perspectives on familiar human foibles. Friedman takes on resistance and other ‘demons’ to show that neither insight, nor encouragement, nor intimidation can in themselves motivate an unmotivated person to change. These tales playfully demonstrate that new ideas, new questions, and imagination, more than accepted wisdom, provide each of us with the keys to overcoming stubborn emotional barriers and facilitating real change both in ourselves and others. Presentation followed by discussion.
